Editur, & Kine Reedurs: Sumtimes when I think back over my Eckperiences in the Mount'neer field 1 haff to lafi. Down neer Clyde one man lockt tle dore an' woodn't come out' woodrt't eab'm answer "Nock hiz ikire down, why don't- chu?" sed a man woikin' iikross the rode, "I no he's in thai' . , I saw 'im run in when he seed you a-comin', an' I heerd Mm hn.k the dore an' put fhe cook-stove an' soafy agin it." "Did he say ennythinp?" I axt. "He sed he saw the Devi a-comLr'," replide the man. . Then I 'lowed as how I wuz a-grin' to tare down his hous shore nuff "No, never mind Mm," the man sed, sez he, "caze he's bin a drinkin' this new doaptup, kemical wine what they sell now an' ye no it's civlky lated to run a man crazy, eat, hir ln sides out, give him de-leerum-treniins an' ever thing elce." "Yes, thar wuz 2 or 3 fellers up at Waynesville what got to drinkin' Uie stuff reglur," sez I "an' it wuz 'bout to lay 'em under the sod, they ttopt jist in time to save their selves. It'Ji 'shore git-che,' as Frank Parton sez." partys, had 'em fcr 'oed-i'ellers & o fviarth . , an' so way in" I mustard up my nui an' went over. THE GOAST OF SHADY GROVE Down on Jonathan's Cr. I had a awful Ecksperience . . I feel 'bout 10 yrs. older today fer havin' gone throo it. "Yes, I bleeve 'bout eveibody 'round here takes the Deer ol' Mount'neer, 'cept the Goast of Shady Grove," sed Olis Allison; "ye mout go over an' canvass him . . everybody 'round here's afeerd to go neer the place." Then I 'lowed to Olis as how I'de intertained hants at my mid-nite Federal, state and local, without re sard for their effect. Therefore, we may ; anticipate,, that tax revision in JS3S if iieeessLiy does not force it earlier will be approach ed on a sound basis. Such an ap proach has been too long delayed, although the need for it has been rec ognized by the nation's fiscal experts. For example, late in 1932. a sub committee of the House Ways and means Committee studying Federal and etate taxa-tion and duplications therein, made a preliminary report. Let me quote from the statement made by the able chief of staff of the Joint Congressional Committee on Internal Revenue. "At the completion of some months of stpdy of our taxation system as a whole, it is our opinion that Very substantial improvements can be made therein, through cooperation between the Federal Government and the states. The tax burden if great and the public is fully conscious of this burden in these times of stress.. A more equitable distribution of the burden and its ultimate reduction through a judicious curtailment in ex penditures would doubtless not only be welcomed by the public but would also have a most beneficial effect on business." We should ask ourselves the fol lowing questions: What taxes are most adaptable for the use of the Federal Government and which taxes are most adaptable for the use of etate governments? What taxes may be properly im posed, if any, by bo-'h state and Fede ral Governments without serious ob jection from the standpoint of equity? We must give our citizens a fair and jus system of taxation, free from loopholes and inequities, and we must also give our people a full measure of value for their tax dollars. This will require the- reduction in expenditures now sought by the President, As I ste-pt upon the ol" rotten, mold erf porch ever thing wuz as kwite t deth "Come in," sed a holler voice In ray knock on the dore. I tiide the ilore, but it woodn't budge. Then all at unet 1 heerd a diaggin', moan in' noise start in an up-stares room; it -orre on down the creakin' stares an" at the foot of the stareway it pawzed a mint then startid toarg the fiunt dore. I startid to run fer my life then an' there; but turnin', I saw Medford Lutherwxiod an' Jim Teag watchin' me . . an' knowin' that they'de laff at me the rest of my days then sum, 1 stood my groun'. Then the dore flew oap'm sudden like, I eckspected the goust to grab me -but thar wuzn't enny goast! Jit a bare hall, 'cept fur a hat hangin' on the wall- whitch Jookt like one I'de seed on Med Lutherwood. I wuz a speckylatin' on this, wonderin' what kind of a rackit the Goast of Shady Grove wuz ingaged in, when "Well, come in if ye're a-comin'," sed the voice, which how sounded like it wuz down stales. "Wate till 1 take a-nuther puff er 2 on my Seagyar," sez 1, "an' sorter pull myself tergether." Then I strode," Miles Standish like, into the hall an' dertianded ' agin of the voice that it tell me witch room it wuz jn. The voice, holler an' mourn ful Like, anserd, it seemed, in the room jist on my rite, so I turned the dore mb an' cawtiously stept in. Agin the room wuz empty, or rieerly so. A bed of ol' rags, partly koncealed ly a curtin, wuz back in a dark korner. In the middle of the room wuz a pare of goast slippers, still wet with the nite dew . . an' I node rite then he'de bin a-nazin' hell the nite before! I turned to go, re-gusted that a rackateerin' goast coodn't live enny better!) that; then I de-sitled to make one more 'tempt to lo-cate that goast- "Goast of Shady Grove, whir air ye?" I axt whitch room?" . "The Goast of Shady Grove is ever whir 'round here, yit no whirs," re plide the voice, whitch seemed to come from a clozet. Then almost' suddenly it commenct to grow dark in the room. I lookt about to see if I cood dis-kiwer the cauze, knowin that it wuz not yit more'n 2 o'clock, when I aw the cur tins rollin' down, it jookt like jist of their oan a-kord. But, no, thar wuz a hand, a long skeleton hand at each curtin, slowly drawin' it down. I wuz skeerd so bad, fokes, I wuz almos froaz in my tracks; but I soon realized that I wuz in utter darkness, an' in the hall . . when the draggin", moanin' sound startid agin in an up stares room "Let me out o-heie an' I'll let-chu aJone," I cride in dispare. ; But in response to my aped there came from up-stares the moast weerd, bludcurdlin' an' awful cry, laff er sump'm i'ch as I never hope to heer agin "O h - o'' - e e - - ha-ha I. a ah ! Oh-me-ee-hah-hah-haah--ooO-eee !" Then thar wuz a pawze "Sorter soun's like Bobby Howl's voice," sez I to myself, "but I no it's not Bobby's goast, caze he's very mutch alive. Then "Hob air ye hoo air ye? Ye air my prizner fer life . . my prizner fer life!" waled the voice. "I'm Unkle Abe, representin' the Deer 01' Mount'neer," I shouted back ; "I foller fokes to their grave to get their prescripshun . . an' then, if I don't git it, I go aiter their goast."' 1 AS HE SEES THE k!FE- HUMAN SIDE Q' LIFE 1 . An what do ye think, it was no sooner sed than dun. The darkness dissypeerd . . the dores flew oap'm an'the awful voice an' noizes wuz husht! Then I went up stares . .an' jist as I eckpected; I found one large un finisht room, with jist a little floarin' laid down jist the way Haywood Co. fokes yooce to kwit an' leeve their houzes an' do yit . . an' the best pkee fer goasts to live ye ever did see! Then I lookt out over the bewtiful valley in the direckshun 0f No. 284; Med Lutherwood an' Jim Teag had gone back to their plow in'; cars wuz whizzin' up an' down the highway . . . it 'peared to be bout the middle of the airternoon How long I had bin imprizoned in the hanted hous, in my dream, I do not no.
